Dixie State University, currently a Division II program from St. George, Utah, is one step closer to becoming a Division I football school.
A recent Division I feasibility report concluded that the program was in a strong position to make the jump. One reason for that is because if they do make the jump, the Western Athletic Conference will be waiting to invite them in as a member.
While there are still a lot of meetings to be held and decisions to be made, school officials have said that if they were to accept the invitation, their membership wouldn’t kick in until July 1, 2020.
